Baroness Scotland of Asthal: The commission has provided the following statement on its assessment of departments' compliance with the Act,
	"The nature of the Act means that it is extremely difficult to definitively state that all departments are currently meeting all of the requirements at any one given time. Amongst other, things, the duty requires departments to have published a compliant Race Equality Scheme, be routinely race equality impact assessing all relevant new and proposed policies and have published employment data by ethnicity.
	The Commission regularly monitors aspects of the performance of all public authorities, including central government departments, in respect of their responsibilities in relation to the duty. Much of this work is fluid in order to reflect the nature of the requirements of the legislation. With regards to central government the Commission is currently engaged in a major exercise to examine compliance. As this work is on-going it would not be appropriate to make any further comment at this stage.
	In addition to its monitoring related activities the Commission is also currently working with the Inter-departmental Group on Race Equality, which is convened by the Home Office, in an attempt to simplify the guidance which is available to departments in order to support them to meet their responsibilities in relation to the Race Equality Duty."

Lord Adonis: The new schools framework was introduced in September 1999 and at that time there were 359 foundation primary schools. The following table sets out the numbers of proposals to establish new foundation primary schools, and to change the category of existing primary schools to foundation, together with the decisions and decision making bodies in each year since 1999:

	No proposals were published in 1999 or 2000 to establish new foundation primary schools, or to change the category of any primary schools to foundation. Local authorities are able to "determine to implement" proposals for new schools if they published the proposals and there were no objections.
